The Kill Bill Watch Every Collector Wants | AWAKE Sơn Mài

The AWAKE Sơn Mài “The Deadly Watch” is one of the most creative microbrand releases of the year. Inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1, this limited edition combines traditional Vietnamese lacquer artistry with high-end Swiss mechanics. In this video, I take a close look at every detail—from the handcrafted dial to the beautifully finished case and reliable movement—to see whether this cinematic tribute lives up to the hype. Specifications: 39mm recycled 316L stainless steel case 45.6mm lug-to-lug 11.8mm thickness Anti-reflective sapphire crystal Sapphire exhibition caseback 50m (5 ATM) water resistance Swiss La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement 68-hour power reserve 28,800 vph (4Hz) Traditional handcrafted Vietnamese Sơn Mài lacquer dial Super-LumiNova BGW9 on hands and indices Handmade Barenia calfskin leather strap with yellow lining and red/yellow stitching Limited to just 88 pieces worldwide, inspired by the legendary “Crazy 88” from Kill Bill. The dial is the true masterpiece of this watch. Every piece is individually handcrafted in Hanoi using the centuries-old Sơn Mài lacquer technique, making no two dials exactly alike. The vibrant yellow fumé finish, dramatic red lacquer splashes, and subtle katana details perfectly capture the visual identity of Kill Bill. Powering the watch is the excellent Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, offering an impressive 68-hour power reserve while remaining slim enough for comfortable daily wear. If you’re passionate about independent watch brands, handcrafted dials, and unique collector’s pieces, this is a watch you won’t want to miss.
